hi,

Happy christmas to everyone... and a great new year..

just started playing with Moi again, not had much chance recently to do so..

Im wanting to build a greek temple and wanted to know the best way to model the fluted column that is typicaly greek..

2 versions one with clear flutes all along the height of the main column and the harder one with the flutes just ending short of the bottom of the column. this is the one i'm having trouble with.

I ve tried creating a cylinder, then a circular array of pod/cylinders to give around and boolean subtract from the main cylinder. look good until i turn it into a.obj and get a few strange poly's.

not sure if its clear but havent ant screen grabs yet..

ps. when i export the finished mdel in .obj or .lwo, in MODO 401 the object poly's are all separate, is there something im missing to export giving all polys welded together...

thanks for any help

Tony
